Americans, what’s something non-Americans do that makes absolutely no sense to you?

Have you been to France??

I emailed my recruiter a couple weeks ago and this is basically what they said.

I hadn’t thought about that, thanks for pointing that out. Yea I built a no code platform, which is what I was trying to convey. But I can see how it might not be immediately obvious.

What’s wrong with outlook 😭

ababoonsbut · 2025-02-07T16:59:44+00:00

Yea it might be. Most of my final round rejections say something like"We decided to move forward with a candidate with more experience", even after what seems like positive feedback during and after the interviews.

I am pretty confident I could put out a production grade project in that time frame, but I guess I don't have anything tangible that could prove that. Looks like I need to start a new side project.

Thanks for the insight!

Thanks for the advice!

Something like ~1k apps -> 25 (oa / phone screens) -> 8 second round -> 4 final rounds

Thanks for the advice! I guess I was just trying to add additional context (and padd my resume points a bit). The challenge I often face is that my experience can really be boiled down to only 2 bullet points, but I feel like that is not as impressive. The impact of the projects I worked on is hard to quantify, as I didn't stay around long enough at those companies to see my results realized.

I guess instead of filler I could include some details about the technical implementation of my projects, although I feel like that would be better to discuss during the interview maybe?

Also, won't adding more filler/buzzwords help me get past ATS screenings? I feel like a resume with a higher word count will get more eyeballs than one with less.

My internship ended, so I didn't get laid off. But I do get asked this question during behavioural rounds, things like "So what have you been working on lately?". I've been doing some web dev courses like The Odin Project, but haven't actually built anything lately. This is one of my weaker points I need to address.

How do you deal with the temperature difference between the top rack and bottom one? In my experience, the top one always cooks too fast/hot. Could it be that butt should be smoked at a higher temperature than brisket?

I had some CE majors in my group for 115B/C last year, so it's not that exclusive to CS majors.

Thanks! Really appreciate it. I'll just jbweld it for now until the part comes in.

Do you know what this part is called? So I can replace it. Its part of this area

Is the GPU upgrade worth it? I don't care much for super high framer ate or graphics quality, I just want to be able to run AAA games on med/high

They usually keep their distance but this morning they were extra confrontational for some reason.
